C Programming Cheat Sheet

1. Basic Syntax

• Variables: Declare variables using types like int, float, char, double, etc.

c
CopyEdit
int x = 10;
float y = 5.5;

• Comments:

c
CopyEdit
// Single line comment
/* Multi-line
comment */

• Print/Scan Functions:

c
CopyEdit
printf("Hello, World!\n"); // Printing to console
scanf("%d", &x); // Reading input

2. Data Types:

• int: Integer (e.g., 1, -4, 10)


• float: Floating-point number (e.g., 3.14, -5.7)
• char: Character (e.g., 'a', 'b', '1')
• double: Double precision floating-point (more precise than float)

3. Control Structures:

• if-else:

c
CopyEdit
if (x > 10) {
printf("Greater than 10\n");
} else {
printf("Less or equal to 10\n");
}

• switch-case:

c
CopyEdit
switch (x) {
case 1:
printf("One\n");
break;
case 2:
printf("Two\n");
break;
default:
printf("Default case\n");
}

• Loops:
o for loop:

c
CopyEdit
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
printf("%d ", i);
}

o while loop:

c
CopyEdit
while (x < 10) {
printf("%d ", x);
x++;
}

4. Functions:

• Defining a function:

c
CopyEdit
int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}

• Function call:

c
CopyEdit
int result = add(5, 3);

5. Arrays:

• Declaration:

c
CopyEdit
int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

• Accessing:

c
CopyEdit
printf("%d", arr[2]); // Outputs: 3

6. Pointers:
• Declaration & Usage:

c
CopyEdit
int x = 10;
int *ptr = &x;
printf("%d", *ptr); // Outputs: 10

• Pointers and Arrays:

c
CopyEdit
int arr[] = {1, 2, 3};
int *p = arr;
printf("%d", *(p + 1)); // Outputs: 2

7. Structures:

• Definition:

c
CopyEdit
struct Person {
char name[50];
int age;
};

struct Person p1 = {"Alice", 30};

8. Memory Management:

• malloc() and free():

c
CopyEdit
int *ptr = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int) * 5);
free(ptr);

9. File Handling:

• Opening, reading, writing:

c
CopyEdit
FILE *file = fopen("file.txt", "r");
char ch = fgetc(file);
fclose(file);
